Days ahead of the inauguration of Iran's new nuclear plant in Bushehr, Russia's foreign minister defended his country's involvement in building the facility. The facility will keep Iran "within the regime of nonproliferation," said Sergei Lavrov. Meanwhile, Russian officials said that the plant would be operating at just 1% of capacity after the first three or four months. Google/Agence France-Presse
